Re: What is your favourite movie from the 80's?
 

I would rate my 1st 1980's film as: My Neighbor Totoro, by Miyazaki. Second? Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, by Miyazaki. Since 1980, no other director whose films I saw ever approached the greatness of Miyazaki.

My top 10 films from the 1980's would include:

The Empire Strikes Back (Kershner)
Aliens (Cameron)
Fanny and Alexander (Bergman)
Nostalghia (Tarkovsky)
Blade Runner (Scott)
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (Miyazaki)
My Neighbor Totoro (Miyazaki)
Kiki's Delivery Service (Miyazaki)
Gauche the Cellist (Isao Takahata)
Grave of the Fireflies (Isao Takahata)

Oh yeah, the anime titles by Takahata & Miyazaki are awesome, I didn't include more so I could select other films as well. Notice that science fiction titles are the most common 4 out of 10, including the best science fiction film ever made, Nausicaa, of course.

A lot of great masterpieces from '80ies, but if I had to choose one, it would be Fanny and Alexander.

Re: What is your favourite movie from the 80's?
 

I've always thought the 80s are very underrated. Probably tied with the 60s as my second favorite decade, behind the 70s.

Re: What is your favourite movie from the 80's?
 

The Breakfast Club

Re: What is your favourite movie from the 80's?
 

Mississippi Burning
Glory
Child's Play back then, although watching now it's nowhere near the same

Re: What is your favourite movie from the 80's?
 

Hangar 18
Die Hard
Wolfen
Gremlins
Star Trek The Voyage Home
Altered States

Just off the top of my head: My Life as a Dog; Tampopo, Brazil, The Little Mermaid, Moonstruck, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Repo Man, Suburbia and about a bazillion others.

Re: What is your favourite movie from the 80's?
 

Terminator

The theatrical version or the television version?

Re: What is your favourite movie from the 80's?
 

I've seen television version, which consists of 5 parts.

Re: What is your favourite movie from the 80's?
 

+1 Raiders of the Lost Ark

Re: What is your favourite movie from the 80's?
 

My top 10 1980s taken from my Top 100 list:

10. Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade
9. Star Wars Episode V
8. The Terminator
7. Ghostbusters
6. The Lost Boys
5. Aliens
4. The Thing
3. Predator
2. Young Guns
1. RoboCop

You'll probably notice that the top 5 are in my overall Top 10 as well.

Rodent reminded me that I forgot The Thing, The Lost Boys, and Ghostbusters.

I also forgot The Goonies. Mustn't forget The Goonies.

Re: What is your favourite movie from the 80's?
 

The Shining,Scarface,Raiders Of The Lost Ark and sequels.Overall,80s are quite poor for me,but on the other hand,I haven't seen much of the 80s cinema. :)
